I. To all whom it may concern," {3.5 ityknown that I, WILLIAM H. LOUNS- BURY, of Owego,in the county of Tioga and I State of New York,have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Lasts and Standards; and I dohereby declare that the follow- ;xing is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable-others skilled in i the art to which it appertainstomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of refer-J ence marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

' The nature of my invention consists in an ard. Fig. 3is a section illustrating the application of the D t. Figs-.4; and 5 are boti tom views -of the heel and toe portion f th :1 standard.

The heel-pieceA ismade separate from the standard and body of the'last. The toe-piece I Bis alsomade separate, Both of these pieces have shanks wherebythey can be set into the upper end of the standard, This standard I has an opening, E, corresponding in shape to i 1 the shanks of the parts-A B, and also a smaller recessr c, Whichis of use when a peg-float is to be used, the said latter implement being adjusted therein. The standard hasa base, d so that it will stand firmly upon the 'floor..

It will be seen that the toe-piece B, which i also includes the sole or body of the last, has

an inclinewhen set in position, asin Fig. 1,

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 222.5] 6, dated December 9, 1879; application filed i f May31,1879.

whereby, during the process of repairing either laboot. or shoe, said articles will be effectively of heel and sole parts are separate from each" other, and are to be used separately on the standard, so that the boot or shoe can be taken off more easily than if they were connected.

The based, above referred to, serves as a lapiron to hammer leather on, the standard, in such case, being inverted and placed between the shoemakers legs.

Suitable meansmay be provided for fastening the standard to a bench-as, for instance, screws through holes in the base.

' What I claim is- 1. In a device for repairing boots and shoes, a standard provided with wsocket, 0, adapted to receive a peg-float, the said socket being enlarged at e forithe insertion of the shanks or pins of the heel and sole pieces A B, as shown and specified.

2. A device for repairing boots and shoes, comprising afstandard formed with a recess, 6, a heeL iece, A, and a sole-piece, B, both of the said pieces being provided with a shank or pin adapted to fit into said recessc, as

shown and'specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
